What does it mean to take up space in a world that is not always designed with everyone in mind? How can different living experiences change the way you think about a just society?

The Multivoiced Human Library – an initiative of the University of Humanistic Studies (UvH) – will be hosted at the University of Amsterdam as part of the course Disability Studies on 10 November. This Human Library is open to everyone. We bring people together as ‘living books’ to share their experiences of dis/ability.

As a visitor, you are invited to listen and ask questions in a short, personal conversation in a small group setting, always with mutual respect. You only ask questions you would be willing to answer yourself. A ‘book’ only shares what they choose to share.

In small parallel groups, you will have the opportunity to talk with people with living experience about dis/ability. The stories and conversations will be in English.
